Hello forum community,
after gathering a few more ideas—and having received and tried to incorporate good feedback from previous posts—I would like to ask for your feedback on the current floor plan and your general opinion of the bungalow on our 1000m² (10,764 sq ft) plot with existing buildings.
The floor plan was created with RoomSketcher. I have tried to include quite a few pieces of furniture (kitchen is still missing) as references. The windows for the bedrooms and bathroom are not yet finalized, as I don’t have ideas for them yet.
Attachments:
1.) Plot image + orientation
2.) Original building permit/planning permission (BU) after I designed/modified the draft
3.) My draft (with RoomSketcher)
Zoning plan / restrictions
Plot size: 1000m² (10,764 sq ft)
House dimensions: 15.87 m x 9.50 m (52.1 ft x 31.2 ft) (specified by BU to keep price close)
Slope: No
Parking spaces: 0
Number of floors: Bungalow (single story)
Roof type: Hip roof or gable roof (BU includes hip roof in price)
Orientation: Entrance west, living room southeast facing, dining room southwest facing
Maximum height / limits
Other requirements: must adapt to existing buildings
Owners’ requirements
Number of people, ages: 4 people (2 x 40 years, 2 x 3 years)
Office: In the outbuilding
Guests per year: Max. 2
Open or closed layout: undecided
Conservative or modern style: doesn’t matter
Open kitchen, kitchen island: sliding door, probably L- or U-shaped kitchen
Number of dining seats: 4 in kitchen, possibly 6-8 in living room
Fireplace: possibly a wood-burning stove
Garage/Carport: along the access driveway
House design
Who planned it: based on the Bungalow 131 floor plan by Town & Country. Draft designed by myself using RoomSketcher
- Planner of a construction company
What do you particularly like? Why?
- Access from the west
- simple and compact
Price estimate according to architect/planner: 215,000
Personal price limit for the house, including equipment: 250,000
Preferred heating technology: air-to-water heat pump (either Vaillant aroSplit or Vaillant recoCompact)
If you had to give up some features or expansions, which ones?
- Can give up: size of the living room
- Cannot give up: 2nd bathroom
Why is the design the way it is now?
- Position on the plot
- Location relative to existing outbuilding
What is the most important/basic question about the floor plan, summarized in 130 characters?
- Is the west orientation of the children’s rooms better than east orientation?
- Is the bedroom too narrow considering the ~2 x 2 m (6.6 x 6.6 ft) bed?
- Should the kitchen have its own small dining area?
- Size and number of windows for the living room with southeast orientation
- How should the living room furniture be arranged?
- Should the living and dining rooms be swapped? (SE <-> SW orientation)
--> Dining room faces southwest to see who is arriving
- Is it better to have one floor-to-ceiling window (which size?) or two windows in the children’s rooms?

Which of the cadastral parcels is it?The plan is rotated 180 degrees from the original drawing by the OP, and the property is the one where the text is located.
The existing building is therefore also a remaining structure – but what value justifies this? (So far, I have only read that it is supposed to house an office; and apparently it is now meant to be connected to the new building through a passage to the utility room – but it is not clear what the overall purpose of preserving it is.) To me, as a “storage room plus” and for the saved demolition costs, it does not seem to “earn” becoming a significant factor in determining the new house’s position (?)

Why does it have to be a bungalow?
By the way, I would have placed it crosswise on the plot as well!

The existing building will be converted into an office/living unit, with some storage space available.
I would have naturally designed the floor plan completely differently if we had demolished the old building and were able to position the bungalow lengthwise.
The old building will not be connected to the new building, but as the sketch shows, there is a terrace located to the east of the old building/north of the new building, which is why there is an exit from the utility room facing north.

It has not been built yet ;I .. if you have ideas for a different design, I am happy to consider them. A rectangular bungalow (a bungalow was agreed upon) seemed the most logical choice in the current situation, as well as positioning it lengthwise rather than sideways. [Posting Skize #63]
